Thankful For That Cross Old Woman ! - 11/26/2009

Today's Mental Image:



Thanksgiving for Difficult People


I praised her strength but . . .
She was a difficult presence in our lives.
My Grandmother had the German penchant for telling people off . . .
she died alone at 81, having scolded away all her friends.

from
ON WRITING WELL
William Zinsser's description of his grandmother
pg. 284
